Compile Issues

[LiohMoeller]

Hi,

I am trying to compile it on latest Ubuntu 16.04 but got the following error:

autogen.sh: reconfigure with autoreconf autoreconf: Entering directory . autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4 --force aclocal: warning: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home/patricia) Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set). configure.ac:8: error: AC_INIT should be called with package and version arguments /usr/share/aclocal-1.15/init.m4:29: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from... configure.ac:8: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1 autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 autogen.sh: autoreconf has failed (1)! autogen.sh: for the next step, run ./configure

Am I missing something?

Same problem here, still no fix?

Did you download the zip or clone from the git? In my instance I resolved this by cloning instead of downloading as the zip seems to lack something important.

Practically the same issue here.

jpb@jpb-mint19:~/Downloads/luminance/luminance$ ./autogen.sh 
autogen.sh: reconfigure with autoreconf
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4 --force 
aclocal: warning: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --include=m4 --force
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Autoheader
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing

configure.ac:8: installing './missing'

autoreconf: Leaving directory `.'
autogen.sh: for the next step, run ./configure

I tried what @Galvarino said... cloning instead of downloading the zip. No luck. Here is the clone command I've used, maybe it isn't correct. New to Git.

git clone https://github.com/craigcabrey/luminance.git

Workaround for

aclocal: warning: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory

is

mkdir m4
./autogen.sh

[Notliam99]

mine is staight up just no aclocal

autogen.sh: could not find `aclocal'. `aclocal' is required to run autogen.sh.
